Famous quotes containing the words heavy, water and/or plant:
“Mark the babe
Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
With tiny fingerto let fall a tear;
And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
The outward functions of intelligent man.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,
All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
—Theodore Roethke (19081963)
“When they turn the sun
on again Ill plant children
under it, Ill light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
